Title: Electrical semi-conductor apparatus for providing a periodically repeating coded pulse signal
IPC: H03K3/78
Filed: 1978-07-11
Abstract: Electrical semi-conductor apparatus providing a periodically repeating coded pulse signal comprises an oscillator and a multi-stage binary counter supplied by the oscillator. Each counter stage has a pair of output connections at which mutually inverted pulse trains are established so that the output connections of the counter stages pass at the frequency of the input oscillations to the counter through a sequence of states which repeats continuously, the states each being represented by the output condition of the pairs of output connections of the counter stages. Each state identifies one oscillation of each sequence. Gating devices are supplied by the outputs of the counter stages and operate to combine pulses or and remove pulses from one of the trains of pulses at the output connections of the first stage of the counter to provide a repeating coded pulse output signal. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of making polyester elastomer compression spring
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 1978-09-25
Abstract: To obtain a polyester elastomer compression spring which does not exhibit significant permanent set when compressed by more than ten per cent, a precompression force is applied to a moulded block of the elastomer sufficient to compress the block to an extent greater than thirty per cent of the original dimension of the block as measured parallel to the precompression force. The force is then removed. The block is moulded from pellets of the elastomer. While the block is solidifying, pressure is supplied to the central portion. The block is then subjected to heat treatment, before the precompression force is applied. The precompression force can be used to bond the block between two apertured end plates. <IMAGE>

Title: Wiper assembly and metal casting method
IPC: B22D11/124
Filed: 1980-09-16
Abstract: A D.C. casting assembly has an inflatable elastomeric collar (21) near the discharge end of the mould (12) for removing coolant from the surface of the solidified metal (16).

Title: Home energy saving computer
IPC: G01D4/00
Filed: 1981-01-28
Abstract: The gas and electricity meters in homes and premises are often positioned so that it is very difficult to read them; even after reading them most people find it difficult to convert the readings into cash cost. This invention makes it possible to display running, projected and the final end-of-period cost in a position in the house or premises which is prominent and selected by the consumer. The use of the device would enable consumers to plan the use of energy carefully and enable consumption to be managed within budgets which can be afforded. The invention would operate in conjunction with the gas and electricity meters but would have no physical connection with them other than by the impingement of a beam of light on the rotating hands or discs in the meters. The displays would show cash costs and also initiate warnings when a preset target consumption is exceeded. <IMAGE>
